How will I receive my PIN?

It depends. You will select your own delivery method when
you submit your request on the PIN Web site, or while completing
a FAFSA on the Web application.

Your options include:

Select your own PIN (this option only
appears when you apply for a new PIN or
request to change your PIN).

Instantly view your PIN online.

Receive an e-mail with the PIN
immediately. This e-mail will contain a
link to our secure PIN delivery Web site where
you will be able to input your personal data
and retrieve your PIN online. For security
purposes, this link will be available for only
14 calendar days.

Note: If you don´t use the PIN Web site to apply for
your PIN [for example, you apply for a PIN by
submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA)] you will automatically receive your PIN
electronically if you provide a valid e-mail address.
